I rise to move a motion to suspend standing orders—it's a suspension motion with respect to private members' business in this sitting—and to advise the House that, pursuant to standing order 47(c)(ii), the Manager of Opposition Business and I have agreed that an absolute majority is not required. I move:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the order of consideration of matters and the times allotted for debate on each item and for each Member speaking, for committee and delegation business and private Members' business for today, be in accordance with the determinations of the Selection Committee.

Question agreed to.
